The Lakers' three-peat from 2000 to 2002 might not have gotten off the ground without Shaw hitting crucial three-pointers in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals in 2000 against the Portland Trail Blazers.

"The only reason why I'm even open to shoot those threes is because they're double-teaming [O'Neal]," said Shaw.

The Lakers have won two titles since O'Neal was traded to the Miami Heat. O'Neal earned his fourth in Miami.

The Pacers are 48-27, second in the Eastern Conference behind the Heat. The Lakers are 38-36, hoping to catch the eighth-place Utah Jazz.
